Tried 2 more times. Got Targets first time, then devices the 2nd. Actually almost finished devices, died disabling the last one.

Ahh, it really is a battle vs rng for flawless ones. I'm going to have to make sure I have a beer or 4 before attempting this tomorrow. I wonder if anybody will complete it with targets and devices.

Edit: Just when you thought I couldn't make anything harder than Volus with Avenger Collector Condor... :P

I think I've stolen all your good luck for this challenge kocka. I had half a dozen attempts and never got targets or 4 devices even once. Although two of my tries ended before any objectives at all.

@ Prestacious - I was using a cyclonic crutch 4 so I figured fitness wasn't that important but I still spent more time at health gate in this match than I ever have before, I imagine.

lol yeah this one's tough for sure. Im working it now and trying to see if I can come up with a system for it. I died on wave 3 this first time. Going to go for it again.

Targets definitely ruin flawless runs unless you have a very powerful gun. If I accomplish this one I am definitely rewarding myself big time. Parteee time later. lol

Wave 5...phew...this is definitely a tough one. I had a pattern down packed but when double primes show up its...rough. Going to keep at it.

Tried once again last night, was perfect through 5. Wave 6 was pizzas. I was soooo happy not to get targets or devices. First one spawned right by LZ in the back dead end corner. I ran right to it and all the enemies spawned right next to it in the hallway between it and the control room. Prime stagger, rocket bukaki, death then rage quit.

No doubt this is the hardest one I have ever attempted. I finally got through wave 5 and to wave 6 devices which was fine till the fourth. Got dropped as it was not in the center of the map but at the other edge of it by the second set of crates and I got dropped. Sooooo hard. 

What kind of ammo types have you guys been using? I was using disruptors and then went to phasics which was ok for the Mantis but ended up going back to disruptors. Wondering if I should go for incendiary as those are the best for this kind of solo.

Been using disruptor, because I have much more of them and mainly to get the feel of the solo. The last few tries I haven't used the Mantis at all except for the Primes at the very end of a wave, so phasics were out. Disruptors plus cryo blast really slow the oncoming hoard much better than I think Incendiary would. IMO

I've been away from my pc. nice job morbid. I'll update as soon as I can. Time to get some challenges done tonight :)

Edit: HoF updated

Also, here's my week 9 insanity run, Does this unit have a soul? 

Posted Image

I took capn's advice and used a respec card. This was my build. It was pure tankiness and I just took it easy to get the 5 waves survived and completion. Now I can see how fast I can do this one and last week's for that matter. Then I'll give the bonus one a shot :)

Interesting. I am also using disruptors but am using the Mantis solely really. I thought I would use the Lancer more but I just like this character for sniping. Its mostly one or two shots anyway with the Mantis so its not bad. This is a very tough one though....I will do my best but phew....its hard. lol

Yeah, I figured that the Mantis would come in handy when you need some distance from the enemies, which is why the larger hydra map is good as well. The lancer is a  great weapon and gets rid of any need to worry about ammo. It's still really tough though! Good luck invader.

Ps cato better be celebrating like mad for having pulled it off. :wizard:

It's a good feeling.
Far be it for me to give you guys advice but I'd recommend using the Mantis a lot less, I didn't find it that useful although I guess my build wasn't setup for sniping.

Today, after lots of grinding, using characters and weapons I don't like all that much, I unlocked by BotB banner. So, I decided to give the Legion Insanity challenge a shot. I am a sub-par sniper and the only kits I usually snipe with are the SI, GI and sometimes the Human Infil. because they have stagger powers etc. Though I used only 4 consumable items in the entire match, the timing is a good reflection of my sub-standard sniping skills. I will give it another try to improve upon it, but this is it for now.

Objectives: Hack, Devices, Targets
Consumables used: 1 gel, 2 ops, 1 rocket (to switch targets on wave 10)

Build: Had engineer at level 19 and hence the incomplete allocation of points and I went with a unique build just for this challenge.
kalence.drupalgardens.com/me3-builder#35!5804555!!23U55373!396GC9

The timing is poor, twice the time taken by most. Could get this down by a good 10 mins or more if I were more aggressive and used rockets more etc. Am certainly gonna give this another try to better the time. And I need to improve my sniping skills.

Congrats on BotB and well done on this challenge. Don't worry about the time, it's still infinitely faster than me (I couldn't actually complete this one at all).

^ Great job Sam. Congrats on the BotB! I definitely agree with cato, don't worry at all about the time. The insanity challenges are especially difficult. I just go for the completion with them and I have some pretty slow ones. Keep in mind, you're only seeing the successful runs. I'm sure for each success there are many more failures. (I know I typically have quite a few before getting the insanity ones!)

HoF updated :)

Wish me luck, I attempt the bonus challenge now..

My "Week 9:  Does this unit have a soul?" Insanity Difficulty run.

Wave 3 objective:  Pizza.
Wave 6 objective:  Pizza.
Wave 10 objective:  Devices x4. <_<

Mission completion time:  43:59.  This is my first solo that I completed in the first run! B) Although, I do apologize for the atrocious time.  On a side note, I'm sorry; there's just really no reason to use the M-98 Widow anymore once you have either the Black Widow or Javelin, other than maybe nostalgia.

Oh!  A question for you guys:  have you ever seen a Possessed Praetorian go down a ladder?  I have! :o It was that ladder when you run from spawn, straight through the storage room, the ladder that has an Ammo Crate near it.  I was down there behind the crate, as I just fled from a Possessed Praetorian chasing me in that storage room.  The damn thing followed me down.  Working as intended.  :devil:

^ Great job Tetsu and Aron.
@Tetsu: It's funny you mention not needing the Widow anymore once you get the Javelin, I find I'm actually better with the widow. My aim is horrible with the Javelin lately!

@Aron: Your typhoon run with 10 waves survived is really impressive! That's a really quick time. Nice one!

HoF updated :)

Edit: Here is my vid for Does This Unit Have a Soul? [Insanity]

I've also been trolled with targets every time I've tried the Heart of Hydra challenge so far.

2nd Edit: The Heart of Hydra needed a better cover pic. OP updated! T - 17 hrs til week 10 challenge :)

Can you use Warp ammo with Phoenix?

With Singularity and Talon this thing trivializes Reapers.

Yeah, you can. I know. It was difficult to dtermine which of these two challenges will be easier. I added the 4 medal requirement to the insanity one to add a little strategy to it. Plus the hardcore one has the harrier...

Edit: It's not much else, but I added 3 waves survived required as well. :)

@Hendrix: Nice! I wonder which will be faster/easier
